Pathology: the clinical description of human disease	2020-07-24		.txt	text/plain	8864	396	34	Patient workup uses present illness history with reference to past medical history, review of other organ systems for other abnormalities, review of family history, physical examination, radiographic studies, clinical laboratory studies (for example, peripheral blood or CSF specimens), and anatomic pathology laboratory studies (for example, tissue biopsy or pleural fluid cytology specimens). Obviously, arrival at the correct diagnosis is a function of the examining physician and pathologist (fund of knowledge, experience, alertness), the prevalence of the disease in question in the particular patient (age, race, sex, site), and the sensitivity/ specificity of the screening tests used (physical exam, vital signs, blood solutes, tissue stains, genetic assays). However, understanding the molecular and cellular pathogenesis of a disease allows development of screening methods to determine risk for clinically unaffected individuals, as well as mechanistic approaches to specific therapy.	./cache/cord-253295-82ydczid.txt	./txt/cord-253295-82ydczid.txt
